Abstract

Methods and systems configured for on-the-fly detection of available wireless bandwidth and for on-the-fly adapting quality of videos to the available wireless bandwidth are disclosed. Techniques are also disclosed to facilitate the transition of video quality to minimize visual artifacts.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to video distribution. More particularly, the present invention relates to techniques for gradually changing the video quality of a displayed video when the available wireless bandwidth for video distribution may fluctuate, over time.[0002]Video distribution refers to the distribution of video content from a video source to an A / V (audio / video) device (for example, a plasma display or a LCD display). In an example prior art video distribution network, a plurality of video sources may be providing video content to a set-top box. The video sources may represent, for example, DVD players, high-definition (HD) players such as Blu-ray players, or other digital and / or analog video sources including, for example, cable / satellite feeds. The set-top box then provides the video signal from one or more of these video sources to a television set or a display device using some physical conduits such as HDMI (High Definition Media Int...
